vvganeshavv 4 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Ok, if your bored and want to read about my first Vegas trip here goes, and if you actually make it to the end and want to post about ur first trip then cool.Ok so I'm all excited about going to Vegas August 2 - 9th. Then I read that horrible blog about Daniel in Canada during the same time. So great there goes any hopes of running into him. But I'm still going to Vegas.First thing I do is visit all the hotels and casinos, blah blah blah, taking pictures and video I'm such a tourist. The Wynn is beautiful. Probably the prettiest hotel on the strip.I spent most of my time playing limit holdem. Stoopid mistake, should have played no limit, but oh well. Entered a tournament at Harrah's. My third live tournament ever, and i finished in 3rd. Ending hand I was short stacked w/pocket 3's, Big stack called me w/ A9 and he hit his aces. Still i was excited!!! Here is a pic of me at the final table<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/vvganeshavv/FinalTable.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">Sorry the quality sux.....Anyways spent the next couple of days playing no limit and won about 200 a day. Played the 1 - 3 no limit at the Wynn!!!We went to a club called Beauty Bar. Its in downtown Vegas. If you like Indie music this place rocks. You can actually get a manicure and pedicure while ur there. The seats are blow dryers. The only thing that sux is the sound system is pretty crappy, but the DJ's played really good music!!That's it... Basically a week of gambling, drunkenness, and debauchery!! flame away....

oh_paul 0 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Since I just turned 21, it was my first time playing at Vegas too. I could have swore I saw you playing a tournament at Harrahs. I was playing NL 1/3 and I saw some guy that kept asking you (or some other girl that looking like you) and this other guy to drink w/him. You were at the final table right ?and it was on Sunday, August 7th. I wanted to enter that tourney, but I got there too late. Anyways, congrats on placing 3rd!My trip was fun overall. I could have lost a lot more than I should have. I hit a set a total of 5 times during the whole weekend and each time I was up against someone that either flopped a boat or a straight, or draws me out on a flush which is a total drag.
